PLATTEVILLE, Colo. — Looking for the buried body of a horse Monday in an investigation of cruelty to animals, Weld Sheriff deputies investigators dug up "multiple" bodies of horses on a farm east of Platteville.

The investigation involves Troy Beattie, who was arrested last month on investigation of cruelty charges involving 23 living horses on his farm. Beattie has not been formally charged in those cruelty cases, but his next court date is Friday.
